0 ruxy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) They don't show the Contract plate (that is seen on the seatbase). The plate is the type that SV (Special Vehicle Operations - Solihull) use on a standard line vehicle Civvy. Spec. , more or less CL (Commercial Logistics) to keep costs down (look at the light fittings , headlamps , headlamp embelishers) . Seems standard civvy spec. 300 tdi , hard-top, other than the Wolf style wheel rims (that could have been done at a in-service tyre replacement) + NATO towing pack. Similar procedure as S3 CL's (and a few specials). Seems to have had the TUAAM mounting plate added in service - probably for a local radio antenna mounting. A good clue is the use of VRM "AY" , long after introduction of "Tri-Service" registrations. I suspect use by RAF Regiment for security, on a base used by the USA with a nominal RAF title.
